When Paul McCartney and a select band of ace musicians played this 15-song set of vintage rockers (including two new "old" tunes) on December 14, 1999, 300 lucky people were packed into Liverpool's legendary Cavern Club, where the Beatles got their start nearly four decades earlier. But the show--comprised entirely of songs from McCartney's 1999 release Run Devil Run--was also seen by a record-setting Internet audience, allowing the whole world to share the joy of seeing McCartney return, literally and musically, to the roots of his illustrious career. This is no-frills McCartney, liberated from the Beatles and Wings (with the exception of a rousing "I Saw Her Standing There"), and while the trademark McCartney howl has grown rough at the edges, his love for this music is enduring and infectious; it's easy to imagine him 40 years earlier, in the Cavern's previous incarnation (the old club was excavated and refurbished in 1984), belting out a similar set with the same youthful fervor that he demonstrates here.

Boosted by the flawless guitar duo of David Gilmour and Mick Green, McCartney starts out unevenly (his vocals on "Lonesome Town" are undeniably strained), but the show steadily improves, and the Mac original "Try Not to Cry" qualifies as a bona fide highlight, proving that McCartney can hold his own in any rock-historical context. And while the 45-minute set is regrettably brief, this DVD includes two excellent features--a McCartney interview and a Run, Devil, Run promo documentary--that combine illuminating history with latter-day perspective. Band-member biographies and two 1999 music videos make this a well-rounded package for McCartney's devoted fans. --Jeff Shannon

Outstanding!

This is an amazing look back into what occupies the minds of "rock stars" as they glance back to the music that inspired them.

Lonesome Towm - Ricky Nelson, is an amazing version of the song which at times has a raspy Paul fighting to get the notes out, but he does.

Shake a Hand - Jackie Wilson (who covered Faye Adams from 53) is an amazing showcase of Paul's range and was marvelous in bringing this song into a more of a "rocker" style song than the blues version.

Brown Eyed handsome Man - An AMAZING cover of Chuck Berry's song. David Gilmour's guitar is simply incredible on this piece.

Honey Hush - Big Joe Turner. This cover version is the kickoff to the DVD and Mick and David's guitarwork is flawless. Paul's no-nonsense vocals expand on it.

Party - (written by Jesse Mae Robinson for Elvis) is the finale for this DVD. Nothing but 5 guys standing on a stage and simply having fun, whilst kicking rock heine.

This whole DVD is an amazing setlist of "who's who" of 50's and early 60's R&B tunes that really DO NOT get much play.

This is a must have for any collection.

Excellent 50's Retro with Sir Paul

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2007

While some might consider Paul McCartney's temporary return to Liverpool to play the Cavern Club to be 'historically significant,' I love this DVD simply because it allows Paul McCartney, David Gilmour, and company to truly rock out with vintage material originally offered up by Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, etc. I can't convey how wonderful it is to hear McCartney screaming through old 50s rockers, and to see Gilmour belting out up-tempo rockabilly style solos instead of his trademark slow Brit-rock blues. Yes, everyone in this video is well beyond their youth but that really doesn't matter. This is one of Paul McCartney's best live performances ever and should be a revelation to anyone who only knows David Gilmour through Pink Floyd.

The concert itself is the main attraction. The extras are ok but basic - just band member bios and a lengthy interview with McCartney. I don't think McCartney ever gave a revealing interview, and this is no exception. It's the concert you will return to over and over.

Throughout, McCartney's love for this music shines through. It reminded me a lot of the way Eric Clapton came to life with his "From the Cradle" CD. This is a DVD that will be appreciated by anyone who loved the way the early Beatles attacked rock classics with boundless energy and love.

5 stars for Gilmour alone!

I bought this DVD because I had heard David Gilmour of Pink Floyd plays guitar on it. I like PM, but I'm not a huge fan. I was impressed with both. PM has a great singing voice, and his choice of songs here is great. As to Gilmour, he doesn't feature too prominantly in the beginning, but as the DVD goes on he gets great camera time and it is awesome to hear him playing a different style of music than his usual style, yet still retaining his own distinctive sound. I actually liked this DVD more than I anticipated I would (and I expected a lot from it!). Could have been longer, but the price is good and the musicianship is stellar. I'm jaded on music DVD's since Gilmours Remember That Night- which blows everything I've seen out of the water... but this intimate show is worth having.

I purchased this DVD back in 2001 and played the hell out of it then. I just came across it again recently and was glad I did. Paul is the consummate professional musician and never fails to deliver. Add to that David /Gilmour and Mick Green and what a show! It,s now 2014 and Paul is still touring and pleasing fans around the world. This video shows his entheusiam for music is there whether in a small venue or a stadium. Highly recommended.

Time to Choose More Carefully

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2002

I am, and have always been a HUGE Paul McCartney fan, and like some many other people on the planet, I associate Paul with the best that rock and roll had/has to offer. That is why it pains me to say that, in watching and listening to the Cavern concert performance, I was reminded of a line from a popular song written and performed by another famous Paul [Simon] "I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains..."
In his prime, Paul's voice was striking in its simplicity and clarity. Arguably, there were few, if any singers of his generation, with the exception of John Lennon, who could challenge Paul's place in musical history as the premier singer of rock/pop classics. I think back to a lyric from an old tune by Leon Russell "If I could sing like Paul McCartney" and wonder if Paul himself recognizes that time has clearly taken its toll.
Back in 1976, during his Wings Over America tour, I had the good fortune to see Paul perform live. I don't exaggerate in saying that I was literally blown away by his voice. That was a long time ago.
If Paul continues to remain on the scene, strictly speaking, just for the fun of it, then good for him and long live rock and roll! If, on the other hand, he wants to remain a viable singer/performer, it's high time he more carefully selected material best suited to his current vocal range. His interviews indicate a strong willed, prideful man not willing to surrender his place in the limelight. Without doubt, no one could deny that Paul McCartney was blessed with an uncanny and phenomenal talent. A talent which he has graciously shared with us all these many years. It would be sad to think that he may be attempting to prove his unparalleled talent beyond his ability to do so.

Paul still rocks!

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2005

Some of the others reviewing this DVD say that they didn't like it, Ringo's better, or some such, but I think this is because they are used to Paul in the post-Beatles mode almost exclusively. Those of us who are true Beatle fans (and possibly old enough to remember their early days) will consider this DVD most impressive for the raw quality Paul and the boys bring to the fore. It's a man returning to his roots in grand style. Bless you and yours, Sir Paul!

Es nostálgico ver a Sir Paul McCartney de vuelta a la caverna, pero la música es genial. Contiene canciones en su mayoría del disco Run Devil Run que es muy bueno. Es genial encontrar en Amazon productos como este que no muy fácil se encuentran y que además tienen un muy buen precio, por eso Amazon es mi tienda de internet favorita, simplemente la mejor. A los fans de Sir Paul es imprescindible contar con este título, excelente elección.

Fantastic show and interview - If you watched this when he did it, on TV in the early 2000's and want to relive it, this is the way!! Too bad its not on DVD but the quality is rather good for VHS - kind of a throwback anyways to that time.

Mick Green with some Other Guys

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 8, 2010

Verified Purchase

Sadly, one of the greatest British electric guitarists ever passed away recently after five decades of showing everyone what rock'n'roll is really all about. This DVD, which is now getting rare, presents a chance to see him at the top of his game with a bunch of amazing fellow musicians, basically folks who were still wet behind their ears when Mick Green was up there on stage with Johnny Kidd, looking on admiringly. Some may argue that Paul McCartney is really the focus of this group, and admittedly the guy is outstanding here, but the style of music from start to finish has very little to do with his outpourings over the years - nor does it sound anything like Pink Floyd or Deep Purple. This is pure British pub rock, as performed by the Pirates as far back as the early 1960s and later on revived by groups like Dr Feelgood in the Seventies and thus an enormous influence on the then emerging punk scene. Let's face it, without Mick Green this music would never have happened the way it did.

This DVD is an excellent way of remembering Mick Green and the enormous influence he, as a true musician's musician, had on British rock. May his legacy never be forgotten and may he rest in peace.
